What we’re about
Scottish country dancing in London
Do you:
· live in London or visit regularly?
· enjoy ceilidhs and reeling but wish you knew the steps a bit better?
· want to learn new steps and more dances?
· love to dance but don’t have a partner?
Or maybe you are already a Scottish Country dancer but don’t yet dance in London.
If you answer ‘yes’ to any or all of the above – come and join us!
Scottish country dancing is fun, friendly, open to all and, with branches around the world, offers an immediate social network to travellers. You can come with friends or come alone, there will be a warm welcome and some great dancing waiting for you.
You can Dance Scottish pretty much every night of the week in London. RSCDS London offers classes, social dances as well as open air dancing in the summer and can help you to connect with the wider Scottish dance community in London.

8 week Beginners' course starts 8 Oct 2025
If you've ever enjoyed ceilidh dancing or reeling and wanted to learn more about Scottish dance, this may be just the course for you.
Join us to learn how to Dance Scottish with great teachers, live music and a warm, welcoming environment.
Our 8 week course will give a thorough introduction to the basic steps and formations needed for Scottish Country Dance.
There is no need for special clothes or shoes to begin with, just wear something comfortable and soft, flat light shoes. No need to bring a partner either - everyone dances with everyone else.
The course includes 8 weeks of lessons plus entrance to the RSCDS London Autumn Wednesday dance and to the end of term class party where the Beginners' class will join in a seasonal end of term programme with the General class.
After successful completion of the Beginners' course, dancers are encouraged to join the Improvers' course in the Spring term before moving to our General class which meets weekly at the same venue.
Classes will take place in the drama studio at Maria Fidelis School - a modern, spacious venue convenient for Euston and King's Cross stations as well as many bus routes.
